There are many ways to transfer compensation from one entity to another. A 1099 payment would include banks paying interest to customers with savings accounts using form 1099-INT or payments from a business to an independent contractor reported on form 1099-MISC. Employers pay employees using form W-2. An example of a non-1099 payment would be reporting the earnings of an employee on the W-2 form.
